Melissa A Booker

Melissa A. Booker serves as a Contract Analyst within the Defense Health Agency (HT9406), supporting the acquisition of mission-critical healthcare services and technologies that sustain operational readiness for uniformed service members, retirees, and their families. She plays a pivotal role in the end-to-end procurement lifecycle, from requirements validation and market research to contract administration and performance monitoring. Her portfolio centers on professional services, health information systems, and clinical support solutions aligned with the DHA’s strategic priorities in digital health modernization, pharmaceutical supply chain resilience, and diagnostic infrastructure. Booker ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating efficient, transparent contracting processes that align with DoD healthcare objectives. Her primary contractor relationships include Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc., reflecting a consistent engagement with specialized vendors offering medical waste management, biotechnology solutions, health IT infrastructure, training services, and advanced medical equipment. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and long-term performance-based contracts, indicating a preference for vendors with proven reliability in delivering complex, regulated healthcare support services under stringent DoD standards. Booker’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the highest-capability providers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing technical proficiency and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 519130 (Other Information Services), primarily for health data analytics and digital health platform development, followed by NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) for clinical decision support tools and NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) for workforce upskilling in emerging medical technologies. This pattern underscores her expertise in procuring digital health solutions, data-driven clinical services, and specialized training programs essential to modernizing DHA’s healthcare delivery ecosystem.
